Capo 1
[Intro]
Em, G, Am, Em  
[Verse]
I'm from a Emdifferent type of left land
GOld Wild AmWest land
EmNosebleeds, palms trees, and tumble weeds rustling
EmOutside they say it's happy Ghere but it's deAmpressing
EmTo many pretty face catching my attention
So I Emlook at them, remind myGself in the Amsmudged glass
That Empretty isn't everything, you punk ass
Always hard to Emsee past the surface
When it Glooks so Amperfect
But her Emeyes will Amdisguise dirt on Empurpose
You listening?
EmI grew up here Gunder the Amsun
In grade Emschool I was the odd one out of the bunch
And I don't Emmean I was the kid to eat Gbugs for Amlunch
I was the Emone who wasn't coming from where Amtheir coming Emfrom
EmI speak poetically and Gnever pride my Amignorance
EmBut this California shit is rigorous
They say it's Emhappy here, happiness is Gfigurative
I'm Amhappy cause of Emme doesn't matter where I'm living
[Chorus]
If the Emsun was Ggod AmI'd be Emcovered in faith
If the Emocean was the Gdevil AmI'd be Emcovered in hate
GI'm Amso west Emcoast, it's a god damn shame (x2)
[Verse]
I'm waking Emup underneath sheets, Gnaked, still Amsweating
EmSlept in late so everybody else is ready
My Emfriend called up he said "GHurry up, AmBuddy, it's Emalmost sun down already".
So I hopped Emup
I went and washed Gup
I Amate some pastEma then I gave my mom hugs
Then I thought Emuh it's gonna be a Gpretty nice Amnight
But Empretty isn't Ameverything Emright?
Golden state Emmind
I'm taking my Gtime
AmPlain white Emshirt and a skinny black tie
My top let Emdown when I get picked Gup
AmP.C.EmH so California
Maybe they were Emright
Happiness Gis a warm Amgun
But Embefore you shoot please warn us
Life is too Amfun
California will you marry me?
Let Amgod be the sun
And then the ocean they shall bury Emme
[Chorus]
If the Emsun was Ggod AmI'd be Emcovered in faith
If the Emocean was the Gdevil AmI'd be Emcovered in hate
GI'm Amso west Emcoast it's a god damn shame (x4)
